So someone used the contact us section on Michael Hickmotts website to send this after Monday’s Darwin cup using a false name , false phone number.
The up address has been handed over to the authorities who are investigating.

This is what was sent....




so let me get this straight, lieder the horse you train was absolutely crunched and backed off the map from 4.60 it opened at tab this morning into 3.40 by the time they jumped and it gets rolled? your a f&&&Ing sh&t trainer your an absolute joke of a trainer you mitt hopefully that cat lieder snaps it tendon hopefully you get cancer.



I’ve edited the swearing out.     What kind of filth writes that? I’m disgusted.

This sought of stuff is a bit beyond the joke.

This idiot must have had his rent money on and if that is the case, he has a few more serious problems to work out than going to the trouble of finding a trainers web site, finding the contact link and then sitting down and typing that rubbish.

If you think trainers and jockeys are rorting the races then go and play the pokies to lose your money in a fair and honest way, well, then again...….

This is not isolated, happens quite a lot, abuse by faceless people on social media.

If you're involved in the wagering industry you should just suck it up.
You get paid by loser gamblers.
I've had worse said right to my face at the poker table.
Everyone wants to be a victim nowadays... pathetic.

They used to hurl abuse at jockeys coming back into the yard and it's celebrated as part of racings folklore but god forbid someone gets sent an email.
I'm more offended by the false outrage in response.

Wishing a person to get cancer though? Or wishing a horse gets injured? That’s a little too far imo

Racing authorities are investigating, unsure about the police.
They are looking into to see if it was a licensed person, hence the stewards could lay charges.
Last I heard it was tracked to an address in Moonee Ponds / Ascot Vale area

Sore losers really s**t me off.   If  you cant stand the heat, leave the kitchen.  If you have to resort to wishing broken legs and cancer on anyone, you are one sick puppy.Wacko

If losing punters leave the kitchen half the industry will be eating at a soup kitchen. What was said was in poor taste but it wasn't a threat. I actually thought the letter Bryce Hayes got, complete with tissues was hilarious. Criers aren't good losers eitherWink

If punters are that bad that they are losing so much they have to eat at a soup kitchen then they should be off to Gamblers Anon for some help, and give up the game.

Actually I was referring to participants, trainers & jockeys in particular. But even winning punters are dependent on their losing counterparts. If you've read Jim Cassidy's book, or are familiar with his story, you'll know his case isn't atypical-there's not a huge market for unskilled labourer who didn't finish high school. Thankfully, this generation of hoops are a little conscious of their their post racing future

LOLSo so right.  Yes, familiar with Pumper and his story, and agree .  But as you say, this new generation seem to be well versed on how to present properly.  Thankfully Thumbs Up
